Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen prepare for upcoming 2026 NFL season

The Buffalo Bills enter the 2026 NFL season with organizational changes following an overtime divisional round loss last year. The franchise fired head coach Sean McDermott and hired Joe Brady, while acquiring wide receiver DJ Moore to support quarterback Josh Allen. Allen, who turned 30 in May, has historically performed well against the Los Angeles Rams, recording 950 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in three career meetings. The Bills are scheduled to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Rams during a Monday night game in Week 5 at SoFi Stadium. While the Los Angeles Rams remain the consensus favorite to win the title, analysts view the Buffalo Bills as a significant challenger in the AFC. The team also addressed defensive depth during the offseason to strengthen its championship aspirations.
